Serves 8

 

 

2 cups Fine Shirag Bulgor
1 lb. flank steak
2 cups water
½ tbsp salt
¼ tsp cumin
1 lb. extra lean ground beef
1 cup onions (finely chopped)
½ cup coarse ground pistachios
½ cup coarse ground walnuts
¼ cup pine nuts
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. seven spices
½ tsp. red pepper
¼ tsp. black pepper
¼ tsp. allspice
¼ tsp. cumin
At medium heat put a small amount of water (¼ cup) in a pan and add the ground beef slowly, mixing constantly to evenly cook the beef so no lumps appear.
Add onions and salt, mix thoroughly, lower heat and let simmer for 20 min. or until water is absorbed.

Add nuts and mix. Cook for another 8 min.

Add the spices and mix thoroughly. Cook for another 2 min.


Mix Fine Shirag Bulgor in 1 cup of water and let stand until water is absorbed.

Dice flank steak, then in a food processor process the steak until is fluffy.
In a mixer combine the Fine Shirag Bulgor, salt and cumin.

Slowly add the steak, and the remaining water as needed.
Using an 11 inch diameter pan, lightly coat the surface with olive oil.

Divide the outer layer mixture into two equal portions.

Use one portion to make a flat layer in the pan (tip: have a small bowl of water close by to dip your fingers into to prevent sticking).
Add the filling as a middle layer.
Using the second portion, add the top layer.
Cut the finished product into shapes (squares or diamonds)
On each piece place a small piece of butter.
Cook at 350ºF for 30 min.

Let cool and serve.
